Multi-genre music artist Aaron Lewis to perform at the Clarksburg Amphitheater in June

CLARKSBURG – The City Parks of Clarksburg has announced chart-topping multi-genre music artist Aaron Lewis is set to perform at the Clarksburg Amphitheater on Friday, June 3, 2022.

Aaron Lewis grew up in Springfield, Vermont, listening to his grandparents’ country 8-tracks. Those roots inspired the multi-platinum frontman and founder of Staind to return to his origins and since has quietly made an impact on country music without flexing to let everyone know what a big deal he is.

With a decade invested in a genre that’s seen him record with George Jones, Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Mickey Raphael, the Cox Family, Ben Haggard and Dan Tyminski and producer Buddy Cannon, he has claimed two #1 Billboard Country Album debuts for his albums Town Line and Sinner.

Lewis’ single “Am I The Only One,” debuted on Billboard’s #1 Hot Country Song,” only the 9th time a debut has topped the charts since 1958. The hard-touring, workingman’s star’s latest album Frayed at Both Ends was released in January of 2022, his most personal and unplugged work.

Lewis will be joined by the band the Stateliners and his opening act is still TBD.

Recreation coordinator Tessa Fazzini says, “When we polled the public on who they’d like to see at the AMP, Aaron Lewis was one of their top-picked artists. We are excited to kick off our summer season with
him!”

Tickets for the event went on sale at 10 am on Friday, March 11, 2022. Advance tickets will be available
